Chateau de Fonbel 2018

Von den Besitzern von Chateau Ausone, Familie Vauthier!

- 93 Punkte, The Wine Cellar Insider, Jeff Leve: „Appreciably better in bottle than in barrel, the wine offers spicy fruits, flowers and licorice on the nose. The wine has filled out, adding additional layers of silky textured, sweet, fresh red fruits with a light touch of oak in the finish.“ The wine was made from blending 70% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Carmenere and 7% Petit Verdot.

- 93 Punkte, James Suckling: „Black berry and blueberry with some cedar and dark mushroom character. It’s full-bodied yet tight and poised with pretty structure and balance.“ Try after 2024.

- 91 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2018  de Fonbel is wonderfully plump and invitin, which makes it an excellent choice for drinkin now and over the next decade or so. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new lether and licorice all come together in an understated, open-knit Saint-Émilion that offers tons of immediacy and leasure." Drinking Window: 2022-2033

- 91 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart kräuterwürzig unterlegte schwarze Kirschfrucht, reife Pflaumen, ein Hauch von frischen Orangenzesten. Saftig, Nuancen von Brombeeren, frisch strukturiert, kirschiger Nachhall, ein lebendiger Speisenbegleiter."
